The Sacramento Police Department is asking for the community’s help in locating a murder suspect.

On Monday, February 23, 2015 at approximately10:55 p.m., the Sacramento Police Department received a 911 call regarding a subject that had been stabbed inside of a residential apartment near the 3300 block of Arena Boulevard.

The victim, a man in his 20s, was found by responding officers to be suffering from multiple apparent stab wounds.  The alleged assailant was quickly identified as the victim’s roommate who fled from the area prior to police arrival. 

Paramedics transported the victim to an area hospital where he received emergency medical treatment, but later succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced deceased.

Homicide detectives along with Crime Scene Investigators were called to the scene to assist with the investigation. 

During a preliminary investigation, which included interviewing numerous witnesses, detectives identified the victim’s roommate, 24-year-old Aaron Ramzy, as the person believed to be responsible for the assault.
